ABSTRACT

Tailoring of a method component includes adding missing content, modifying existing content, or removing existing content that is inappropriate, unnecessary, or not cost-effective to perform.

Maintain the architecture and its representations. N Ensure the continued integrity and quality of the system architecture as the system evolves. N

e typical subordinate objectives of this task are to:

Ensure the elimination of inconsistencies within the system architecture and its N representations. Ensure the elimination of inconsistencies between the system architecture, its representa-N tions, and the:

Architecturally significant requirements − Enterprise architecture(s) − Reference architecture(s) − Design of architectural components − Implementation of architectural components −

Ensure that the quality and integrity of the architectural representations does not degrade N over time. ereby, ensure that the system architecture and its representations do not degrade over time. N

15.3 Preconditions e Maintain the Architecture and Its Representations task can typically begin when the following preconditions have been met:

System architectural drivers and concerns are managed, baselined, and available. N e system architectural drivers and concerns are properly managed (requirements management), baselined (configuration management — configuration control), and available to the architecture teams.
